Naruto: The Information Broker from the Uchiha Clan.

Chapter 6 The Night That Was Changed

"Snapped!"

"Secret Scroll Clone"

Yun clapped his hands, and a cloud of smoke appeared at the bottom of the river beside him, but the figure that was faintly visible in the smoke never appeared.

Yun, however, smiled. Sure enough, the scroll of rule evolution has many uses, and it's not just about giving you an extra life.

Of course, having an extra life is the most important feature. Starting today, as long as the clone and the user do not die on the same day, the clone can be resurrected when it refreshes again after midnight.

And now...

From a cloud of smoke at the bottom of the river, a young man who was 1.8 meters tall gradually emerged. With red hair, a slightly off-center three-dimensional Yahiko appeared at the bottom of the river.

……

Yahiko with red hair, is he Uzumaki Yahiko?

No, the clone's name is... Sora!

As if two souls possessed the ability to multitask, the clone swept across the riverbed and headed into the distance.

Yun then floated to the shore. Given his current status as an unknown nobody, no one would bother to monitor him. Releasing his clone at the bottom of the river was better than nothing.

The omnipresent White Zetsu and the Third Hokage who spends all his free time spying on others—hopefully, it's not just a coincidence.

Both the Nara family compound and the Tatsumi refuge have been marked with the Flying Thunder God Technique in hidden corners. Although the chances of the Nine-Tails being released tonight are slim, it is still necessary to be prepared.

It was noon when we got home from the back mountain. My mother and Quan had already returned, and the whole family went to the market together happily.

……

As night falls, the Leaf Village remains bustling under the lights.

On Shadow Rock, the clone's gaze narrowed slightly. A figure in the distance flashed by, and the barrier that had been set up long ago seemed to have no effect on this person at all.

Because of concerns about the Nine-Tails going berserk, Kushina was born in a cave outside Konoha, with a barrier set up outside to prevent any accidents from happening.

Even so, the aura of the Nine-Tails' chakra still managed to penetrate the barrier and permeate the air.

"Did they extract and seal the Nine-Tails' chakra beforehand, and then slowly release it using a sealing technique? Did they strengthen the seal at Kushina's actual birthplace? Not a single trace of the Nine-Tails' chakra leaked out, that's truly impressive..."

The clone sat down after running errands, and then all it could do was wait. If there was a big commotion, it would go and cause some trouble; if there wasn't a big commotion, it would just leave some spells behind and go back to sleep.

……

"ah!!!"

"Ouch, that hurts!"

"Minato! Minato..."

Kushina's cries of pain echoed through the cave, while Minato stood beside her, holding her hand with a look of deep concern on his face.

Kakashi, who was hiding in the shadows, was completely bewildered. Why did two such serious men act out a married couple so naturally?

Two Best Actor winners!

Ten minutes later, Shisui, who had transformed into Kushina while lying on the bed, was a little hoarse, but the other person still didn't seem to come out.

Time is running out. Once the baby is born at the actual birthing site, the aura of the Nine-Tailed Fox will be impossible to block no matter what.

By then, the enemy will surely be able to guess that this place is a trap.

and many more!

In an instant, Shisui realized that Kushina's seal would weaken and the Nine-Tails' chakra would suddenly erupt when the baby was about to be born, so the other party must also be waiting for this opportunity!

and so……

Thinking of this, Shisui and Minato, whose faces were full of worry, exchanged a glance. Both were intelligent people, and they understood each other's meaning in an instant.

Meanwhile, Obito, who had entered using his intangibility ability, was getting impatient. The Nine-Tails' chakra had been leaking for a long time, so why hadn't this brat come out yet?

The Uzumaki clan's sealing techniques are renowned throughout the ninja world, and their unique bloodline makes them the best physique for sealing tailed beasts. Furthermore, the birth of the infant adds another constraint to the Yellow Flash—an infant utterly powerless to resist.

"It's born! It's born!"

The transformed Lake Biwa and the two female medical ninjas cried out in surprise, but there was no sound of a baby crying inside the cave.

Minato immediately exclaimed, "Why is there no sound? What happened to Naruto?"

Fugaku immediately understood: "You'll have to hit me a couple of times, don't worry."

She then picked the baby upside down and flicked the soles of the baby's feet with her fingers: "Don't worry, this way you can spit out any amniotic fluid in your mouth."

Minato looked grateful, while Shisui on the bed knew that his mission was almost complete; if he kept shouting, his voice would be ruined.

coming!

In an instant, a figure appeared silently beside Fugaku, and a kunai was thrust directly into his neck.

"Whoosh!"

With a quick movement technique, Fugaku dodged the attack and looked nervously at the enemy in front of him, while the baby in his arms was snatched away in his dodge.

"I didn't expect the Third Hokage's wife to have such a fast Body Flicker Technique, but now..."

The masked man, Obito, held the baby's bundle in one hand and thrust his kunai straight at the baby.

In an instant, he looked at his former teacher in front of him, his Kaleidoscope Sharingan eyes filled with ferocity.

Experience the pain of losing love, teacher. You're late again this time!

"Bang!"

A plume of smoke rose up, and the baby inside the package transformed into a kunai. The shadow of Obito wearing a mask was reflected on the black blade, as if mocking him.

trap?

How is that possible?

In an instant, Masked Obito looked at Minato Namikaze: "How did you know?"

Minato looked at his former disciple with a solemn expression. Although he avoided eye contact due to his fear of the Sharingan, he still showed regret when he looked at the bandaged arm.

"Although I have many questions for you, I'm sure you won't answer honestly right now. Some things are my responsibility, so... I'll just keep asking you!"

The Flying Thunder God Technique was activated in an instant, and the jutsu that had been set up in the cave made Minato seem to be omnipresent at this moment.

"Whoosh!"

The kunai pierced through the void of his mind, and Obito, completely unperturbed, wore a mocking expression: "What makes you think... you can catch me?"

Just as Minato's arm passed through, Obito instantly materialized, turned around, and mercilessly stabbed down with the kunai.

"Whoosh!"

The Flying Thunder God Technique reappeared, and Minato appeared beside him, confirming the information from the shadowy figure.

At that moment, Obito tilted his head and looked at Shisui, who was still lying on the bed: "Since the baby is fake, then the Nine-Tails Jinchuriki must be fake too, right? Still pretending to be dead, do you think I'm stupid enough to touch you?"

Shisui, lying on the bed, awkwardly got up, scratched his head, and said, "I didn't think you were stupid! It was just that my performance was too embarrassing, and I'm only just recovering."

Masked Obito chuckled, "That was really realistic! To be placed here by the Fourth Hokage, your strength must be quite impressive, right? The Third Hokage?"

"Sorry, Uchiha-senpai, you guessed wrong!"

"Bang!"

As soon as Shisui finished speaking, a pair of Sharingan eyes resembling crosses were revealed in the smoke after the transformation was dispelled.

Kotoamatsukami!

Caught completely off guard, the seed of Kotoamatsukami had already been planted.
